Question

1. recently, the land area in france was reported as 547,557 square kilometers. the population at the time was 66,316,100. estimate the population per square kilometer.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find population per square kilometer, we use the formula: Population density = $\frac{\text{Population}}{\text{Land Area}}$.

Step2: Substitute the values

Population = 66,316,100, Land Area = 547,557 square kilometers. So we calculate $\frac{66316100}{547557}$.

Step3: Perform the division (approximate)

$\frac{66316100}{547557} \approx 121.11$ (we can do this division by calculator or long division, here we approximate the result).

Answer:

Approximately 121 people per square kilometer (the more precise value from the division is about 121.11, so we can round to a reasonable number like 121 or 121.1).
